🚨 Confronting California Politicians behind the “Stop Nick Shirley Act”:
California’s Attorney General’s wife has created a bill titled AB 2624 (aka the Stop Nick Shirley Act) that will fine citizens and journalists a minimum $4,000 for exposing and searching for potential fraud inside Immigration Support Service Providers and take away their First Amendment rights.
This bill will protect NGOs, nonprofits, legal offices, healthcare facilities and learing centers who provide services to immigrants. If an immigration service provider gives you a piece of paper saying you cannot publish your video, you may be fined $4,000 and have to pay for their legal fees.
Instead of pushing for more transparency, California is trying to shield journalists and citizens from looking into where their tax dollars are going. California politicians need the fraud to continue.
EXPOSE IT ALL.
Did you know the birth of modern computing and AI is directly tied to both the Nazi concentration camps and the Allied victory?
The Nazis owed a lot to IBM, which custom-built and maintained the punch-card machines that allowed them to round up and categorize millions of people. IBM was asked to stop, but they kept going. When researcher Edwin Black finally had them dead to rights with the documents, IBM admitted he was right.
But they were never held accountable. In fact—and this may be the scariest part—when IBM built their modern AI computer to scan hospital records and track medical data, they named it "Watson," after their former CEO Thomas J. Watson, who authorized the dealings with the Nazis.
But at the exact same time, Alan Turing helped build one of the first computers to crack the impossible Nazi Enigma code and help the Allies win the war. He went on to predict the rise of AI that we're currently living in.
Technology is a double-edged sword: in the hands of a free people, it can break the back of a totalitarian regime. In the hands of a surveillance state, it becomes the ultimate tool of control. If we don't learn from history, we'll walk right into the trap a second time.
